The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and making part of the same. i

To all whom 'it may camera l Be it known that we, RonERrELARToN and WIL- LIAM J. ELARTON, of.Hillsboroug h, in the county of fHenry, and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement. in Ghurns; and we do hereby declare that the "following is Ta` full, clear, and exactV description of the saine, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a transverse vertical section of' our `the' parts of which 4itis composed, as will be 'more fully explained hereafter.

, A, in the dlawings, represents a rectangular vessel, which may be madeV ofwood, or other suitable material, and be supported upon legs at the proper height.

.Y `B represents a vibratory dasher, which isA attached tothe shaft Ov by suitable arms, it being formed or made `of a length whichpermits it to vibrate freely within the vessel, ,which contains the-.material to be churned, and ci' any' desired width, and perforated with a sufficient number of holes to give the required agitation and division of the cream or milk while l being operated upon. p

G represents the shaft to `which thedasher'israt' tached, and which hasits bearings in lugs or `tboxes secured to the inner sides of the ends of therectaugular vessel. Y

Projecting upward `from about the centre of this shaft, is'an arimthe upper end of which is adapted to fit into a grooveformed inthe periphery of the wheelE. l i

D represents the cover `of the churn or vesselA, it being provided with airapertures, which may be c overed with perforated pieces `of metal, to prevent the contents'of the vessel from being forced out bythe f action of the dasher. It is also provided withan aperture through which the arm that operates the dasher works, as shown in iig. 3.

E represents a cam-wheel, which is secured to a shaft, which has its bearings secured to the 'ends of the vessel A. This wheel has a zigzag groove formed in its periphery, which receives the upper end of the arm which communicates motion to the dasher.

1t will be seen that asl the shaft above alluded to is revolved bythe crank attached to its end, it carries with it thewheel E, which, by reason of the forniation of the groove therein, imparts a reciprocating or vibratorymotion to the arm, and consequently` to the dasher, sufficient to give the required agitation to the contents of the churn. i

-G C 2represent rectangular vessels, which may be made of sheet-metal, and of a length which will'cause themrto t snugly between the ends of' the vessel A, y

their height being suicient to cause their upper edges to nearly .reach the 'upper edge of the vessel above referred to, and their thickness such as to leave a sut'- icient space betweenthem'for the movement of the dasher, as shown in g. l of the drawings.

rlhese vessels (l are provided -upon their upper edges with apertures, for the purpose of enabling the operator to pour in hot `or `cold water, as may be required, to give the proper temperature to the material to be acted upo v They are also provided with rings upon their upper edges, by means of which they are readily removed from vessel A-when-ever it becomes necessary. to do so, for'the purpose of -cleansing them or the'vessels in which they are placed.

Having thus described our inventin.

-W'hat weclairn, anddesire to secureby Letters Patent, is-- l. The arrangement of the vessels O O for containing water, with reference tothe `dashe'r B, substantially as shown and described.

2. The arrangement of cam-wheel E, shaft C, and dasher B, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. p

In testimony whereof, we have signed our names to this specification, in the presence, of two .subscribing witnesses.
